How to NOT look like an idiot slacklining

I got introduced to slacklining in college. I would see college kids posted up between two trees doing their balancing act. I've always wanted to learn but never had the opportunity, but on that day I approached them and they were more than willing to help. If you ever feel afraid of approaching a group, don't be. I find a lot of slackliners are very open to teaching beginners. Here I have a quick and dirty beginner guide geared to those who have never stepped foot on a slackline. You aren't going to be bouncing anytime soon, but you'll have a few tips to get you started and not look like a complete newbie! Slacklining is great for everyone. Even fit athletes will find their legs shaking trying to mount the slack line. It is great for balance, core strength and works on leg stabilizers. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you NOT looking like a complete newbie. 1. Take off your shoes/socks. Barefoot is preferable as your toes can provide extra dexterity on

Best Backyard Zip Line Supplier

When looking to buy a zip line kit for your backyard you first want to make sure that you are buying the kit from a reputable seller. You definitey don't want to buy the kit from Amazon or some other company that doesn't actually specialize in zip lines, and I'll tell you why. If you encounter any type of issue during the installation of your zip line who are you going to call? If you buy your zip line from an online company such as Zip Line Stop you can call and get step by step instructions, advice, and tips on setting up your backyard zip line the right way. The last thing you want is a botched zip line in your backyard, because not only would it be unsafe for your children, but it would be a lawsuit waiting to happen with the neighborhood children. Choose wisely, and if your not sure google some reviews about what zip line suppliers and kits are the best choice for you and your family. Some kits are harder to set up then others, for example the manufacturer ZLP makes zip line kits that require you to tighten the kit using a turnbuckle, while on the other hand Alien Flier zip line kits require you to tighten the zip line cable with a ratchet kit that comes with the zip line. In my opinion, it is always better to buy a complete kit if it's your first buy and your inexperienced with the mechanics of how they work. Buying parts separately can be a hassle and extremely confusing for beginners. Keep this in mind when choosing a supplier as well, you want one that can supply complete kits, but accessories if you want to switch things up down the road.
